Crypt parva and E-Tellenus..
Is there any foreground plant that can grow in low to medium light condition?
Crypt parva and E-Tellenus..
C. parva?
Thought they need high light? That's according to the Oriental plant book that I read...
But E. tenellus will not be a problem... Hairgrass should be possible as well.
You can do a moss carpet, that's what people would usually suggest...
Used to have E.tenellus on my foreground under 2wpg lighting. Though is medium light condition, have to do trimming during weekly maintainance. But is nice though, with the tip turning bit reddish.
Can consider hairgrass.

Thanks all,
The choice come down to hair grass and E. tenellus.
personally i've tried spiky moss as foreground before. They are really great. Requires minimum light will do

How about Eleocharis parvula (Dwarf Hairgrass)? Anyone try this plant before? Does it require cold water(<26C)?
My gravel scape is not flat, so a bit hard to put metal mesh moss.Originally Posted by kemp
You are right! I tot all crypts are low-lighting plants... Guess this one of the few exceptions...
Anyone knows where to get c. parva?

I've got C. parva growing low light, non CO2.
IMO, it's much better than driving them on CO2. Grows as "fast" as with CO2 and high lighting.
